Google Earth Is Offering a Virtual Tour of the Most Beautiful Cherry Blossoms Trees Around the World

Washington, D.C. is nearly ready for its signature cherry blossom trees to reach peak bloom on Saturday, April 4. Although traveling isn’t in the cards this year, you can still experience the beautiful sight and other gorgeous cherry blossoms around the world right from your couch, all thanks to Google Earth.

The journey begins in Tokyo, Japan at the Meguro River Cherry Blossoms Promenade, showcasing 800 trees. Next up is Miharu Takizakura in Miharu, Japan, where a 1,000-year-old weeping cherry blossom tree will leave you in awe.

Outside of Asia, the virtual tour also takes you to Square Jean XXIII in Paris, France; Praça do Japão in Curitiba, Brazil; Kungsträdgården in Stockholm, Sweden; and Garganta de Las Nogaledas in Cáceres, Spain, where two million cherry trees come to life every April. Closer to home is Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, and coming full circle is Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C.

Of course, each floral location will bloom in its own time, and luckily, Google Earth’s satellite imagery guarantees that you won’t miss any of the floral wonders. After your tour, perhaps you’ll feel inspired to plant one of your own in the backyard.
